medical anthropologist. community health doer. language learner.
I mean, I told them to go fuck themselves but am still mystified that this was even an ask.

I work in the healthcare field; my organization is the community partner for a research institute (separate and apart from the university requesting I change my bio).

It was Northwestern, too, BTW.

You know it. And the thing was, the person who requested this had “they/them” in the email signature. I imagine that this didn’t feel good for them in anyway. I wasn’t the biggest jerk that I could’ve been, but I did decline to appear. Because f that.

Just wondering @walshfreedom.bsky.social if even you can get through to your old compatriots. So disheartening.

I was told that I had to remove “HIV prevention and gender affirming care” from a bio to present … AT A CONFERENCE ON HIV RESEARCH. Universities are shitting bricks.

The concern for me is that trust and treaty obligations stand only insofar as people respect them. And this admin has shown a willingness to disregard laws/ protocols/ norms. Indian Country is not safe.

You know it’s a stinker when one of our MAGA Senators offered to fight on BEHALF of Native American health programs impacted by this horseshit.

My area of practice looks at intergenerational trauma and its impacts on contemporary health in urban AI/AN populations. We do a lot of translational research/ culturally grounded HP/DP interventions.

Tá mé ag foghlaim. Labhraím Gaeilge gach lá, ach déanaim go dona é!

Never did study that explicitly but am interested in traditional medicine/wellness.

I am be-dumbed. Like, obviously this isn’t parody but holy shit …

Déanaim mo dhícheall! It's my cousin who's the super smart Gaeilgeoir.

As for the rest, coming of age in the AIDS crisis, seeing friends die was formative. Remember when we had "the 4 H" groups? Grateful to the applied anthro who helped me transform my rage into action.

You’ve made me realize that I am desperately boring. Started an anthropologist, stayed one. Though as a kid I wanted to drive a lorry. Does that count?

You can practically hear the sound of red hats exploding everywhere at once.

I shudder to think what this smells like.

This was just fucking brilliant.
